Chapter 48
Darcy arrived at Mansfield at 3:50. He had gone back to Pemberley Digital and got as much work done as possible. He was determined that tomorrow he would adjust his schedule to spend more time with Lizzie. She would be remoting in to Gracechurch Street part of the day, the eight hour time differance ment that she would be remoting in after midnnight tonight for a few hours for some early morning meetings in London. He would work from home while she did so, then they could go to sleep for a brief bit. She had an end of the day meeting as well at 8 am, or 4pm London time. Her only meeting last night had been at 3 am, right before lunch time in London. He had enjoyed watching her sit in on the meeting but was determined to use his time more productively tonight then sitting and watching her.
Recognizing Anne's car at the valet station Darcy felt a smile break out on his face, he would finally get to see Lizzie. Upon seeing him Lizzie lit up. "Will," she exclaimed happily. Then turning to Anne she said, "Anne this is Will. Will this is Anne, she was kind enough to let me tag along with her today and invited me to a meeting with one of her shelter's donors. I thought you would be working late," she said in some confusion. "Are you meeting someone for work?"
"No Lizzie, I'm done for the day," he said taking her hand in his kissing her cheek. "Anne and Fredrick are some of my good friends. Her donor happens to be me. You need to remember to charge your phone in the future," he told her wryly remembering his and GiGi's frantic search for her.
"Uggg I'm sorry, I didn't even think about it. I take it you tried to get in touch with me."
"GiGi came over to see you on her break since Lydia told her you were in town. She was concerned when she couldn't find you or get a hold of you."
"Will, you did not ditch work and search for me like I was some missing child did you?" Lizzie ask narrowing her eyes at him.
Darcy's chin retreated into his neck and Anne laughed. She said, "He was worried about you Lizzie. You admitted to me you didn't know many people in the city. He was quite put out when I refused to return you to him right away. Darcy, she is a grown woman She should have left a note, but she was fine. Here comes Fredrick. He is dying to meet you."
"Darcy!" A dark haired man Anne greeted with a kiss to the cheek called out. "I see my lovely wife returned your Lizzie to you safe and sound." Turning to Lizzie he continued, "You have no idea how nice it is to meet you. When Anne text me that she had inadvertently kidnapped you from Darcy this afternoon and that he was rather put out about it I was highly amused."
"I was reasonably concerned," Darcy argued.
"You were an irritated bear.," Anne interjected. "One who wants to increase his Christmas donation since he has what he wanted back."
"Let Mrs. Reynolds know how much this time," Darcy told her.
"He is the best donor, I never have to talk him into it. I do insist that he attend the semi annual fundraisers rather then simply write a check, which he does monthly anyway. His presence brings in other donors."
"He'd rather just write the check and sponser the scholarships," Fredrick said with a chuckle.
"Hopefully this year Lizzie will agree to be my date for your fundraiser and I will be left in peace," Darcy said dryly as he pulled Lizzie closer to him. "Assuming I don't have a heartattck frantically having to search the city for her before then."
"Tomorrow I will make sure I am reachable and that I leave a note about where I plan to go," Lizzie said with an eye roll at Darcy.
"I have no meetings tomorrow so I thought I would spend the day with you," Darcy said shuffling his feet.
"What about work?"
"I thought I would stay up with you and get it out of the way while you skype with Gracechurch street."
"The point of me coming to San Francisco was so that you could go to work like normal," Lizzie pointed out.
"I can work in my office at home just as easily as I can at Pemberley Digital. I'll have to go in Wednesday for some meetings again but there is nothing pressing for tomorrow."
Fredrick laughed and told Lizzie, "Might as well give in, Darcy is determined. You won't win this one."
...
After arriving back at Darcy's house that evening the two settled into their respective work spaces. Knowing Lizzie had two hours until it was time for her to Sykpe with Gracechurch street Darcy couldn't concentrate on his own work any longer. Finally he gave in to temptation and went over to Lizzie and began placing kisses along her collarbone. Laughing she turned towards him and pointed out that he was suppossed to be working. He had responded that it was break time, kissing her and pulling her into his arms. Lizzie had quickly melted into him and responded to his kiss. The thrill of knowing he could affect her so once again went through him. He hungrily ran his hands over her. She started to push his supenders down determined to feel his skin. He quickly obliged her by shrugging out of them while she began to unbutton his shirt. He made quick work of getting it off and divested Lizzie of her work blouse as well. The feel of her small hand on his bare chest sent sparks of pleasure through him. He hungrily skimmed his hands over her and kissed her.
"Will," she gasp breathlessly.
"Lizzie, let me make you come," he breathed against her mouth. "Please."
Lizzie unsure of what he had in mind, nodded. He gently lowered her to the couch skimming her flesh with his toung and teeth, determined to kiss every inch of her. His quickly undid Lizzie's slacks and slid them off her. And then she did the same with his. As she lay on the couch wearing only a bra and undies his breath caught in his throat. She stared up at him with trusting eyes. Desperate to see and feel all of her he ask permission to remove her remmaning garments. After she agreed with a shaky nod he quickly removed her bra and panties, then he covered her body with his and gently kissed her. Deepending the kiss he rubbed himself against her. The friction between their bodies cause Lizzie to moan and arch against him. He rubbed against her again, grunting at the pleasure of feeling her heat with only one thin layer of fabric seperating them. As she arched against him again he slipped his fingers inside of her and kissed her exposed shoulders. He varied between stroking her with his fingers and rubbing against her, until she was mummuring, frantic and twisting beneath him. He brought her close to the edge of orgasming but then eased up before she did multiple times. He was determined to have her scream with pleasure before he was done When he finally, plunged his fingers in her and crashed his lips down on hers he felt her inner muscles tense. Pulling his mouth away from hers he coaxed her, "Sceam for me Lizzie, you only get to come if you scream."
"Will," she moaned.
"Louder Lizzie," he told her pulling his fingers out.
She whimpered and gasp his name again louder her body seeking him.
He plunged his fingers back in and rubbed her simultaneously. She moaned. He withdrew his fingers again and demanded, "Scream Lizzie, not until you scream with pleasure love." He repeated his previous actions with his fingers urging her to scream his name.
Finally he pushed her over the edge and she screamed his name as she came causing him to come as well as he rubbed against her. Afterwords she was embarrassed and flushed but Darcy kissed her softly and stroked her swollen flesh gently, soothing her with his touch. She reached for him but he with a chuckle told her he was a mess and needed to go clean up. Seeing an hour left until she her first meeting he insited on scooping her up into his arms and carrying her to his shower. Even after he entered the bathroom he refused to break physical contact with her. He kept her hand in his as he turned on the water and removed his own boxers. He quirked an eyebrow at her when she blushed and stepped into the shower pulling her with him. Standing under the hot water he contentedly stood with her naked in the circle of his amrs. She laughed up at him and said, "No wonder you wanted to work from home. Should I expect this type of work break whenever you are working at home?"
Kissing her he said, "I don't think I ever want to work anywhere but from home if all our breaks are like this. It's a shame you have meetings, now that I have you in the shower with me I can think of all sorts of ways to pass the time."
"Hmmmm," Lizzie said with a sigh as she snuggled into him, "You'll just have to save your ideas for some other time. I can't miss the meetings."
